After hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, a hint of concern appeared on Lian Mengzhu’s face. “It shouldn’t be that serious! Although Wanwan has been a bit aggressive in her actions lately. But compared to Chenhao, Wanwan excels both in alchemy and cultivation talents. Moreover, Father is very fond of Wanwan.”
However, despite saying so, she couldn’t shake off the worry in her heart. She was well aware that her husband wouldn’t speak without reason.
Ye Hongxuan shook his head and continued, “For the head of the Ye family, both cultivation and talent in alchemy are crucial, but even more important is whether they can lead the family towards a more brilliant future, Wanwan’s recent actions have eroded the elders’ confidence in her.’
This explained his insistence on having Ye Wanwan apologize to the Huangfu family and his relentless efforts to mend relations. Unfortunately, all efforts were thwarted by Wanwan herself.
“Is there any other solution now?” Lian Mengzhu spoke with a worried expression. “Wanwan has always been a strong-willed child. If she suddenly loses her position as the heir, I fear she won’t be able to accept it.”
“It depends on the Murong familys stance,” Ye Hongxuan explained. “If Murong Xingrui and Wanwan’s marriage can be settled, then her position can be secured. Otherwise, things might become precarious.”
Frowning, Lian Mengzhu expressed her concern. “It’s been many days, but there has been no news from the Murong family. I’m worried…”
“Don’t overthink it,” Ye Hongxuan interrupted. Standing up, he patted Lian
Mengzhu’s shoulder and said, “l will do my best to find a way to secure
Wanwan’s position as the heir. It’s just that I’m afraid…”
He feared that, despite his best efforts, it might not be enough.
Understanding Ye Hongxuan’s unspoken meaning, Lian Mengzhu refrained from saying more. There was little she could do now, and she didn’t want to add to her husband’s burdens.
Meanwhile, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Wanwan had returned to the mortal world.
After Huangfu Ruiling dropped Ye Lengan at home, he took his leave. Though he wished to stay at Ye Lengan’s villa, they lacked a formal status, and he sensed it wasn’t appropriate to linger. Sensibly, he bid farewell.
Ye Lengan didn’t say much. After Huangfu Ruiling left, she took a shower and rested. She planned to attend classes at school the next day.
Early the next morning, Ye Lengan woke up, had breakfast, and headed straight to school.
In the principal’s office, upon hearing a knock, Zheng Anyang didn’t bother to look up and simply said, “Come in!”
When he raised his head, he was taken aback and even his tone carried surprise. “What are you doing here?”
However, realizing the inappropriate tone, he quickly corrected himself. “You’re back?”
“Yes, I am!” Ye Lengan wore a casual smile. “That’s why I’m here to end my leave! Principal, I brought you a gift!’
As she spoke, she took a small bottle from her bag and placed it on the table. “See if you like it.”
Looking at the bottle on the table, Zheng Anyang was surprised but still picked it up to examine. “This bottle is quite nice, made of jade, isn’t it?”
He hadn’t expected Ye Lengan to give him a jade bottle. Although surprised, he saw it as a simple gift, not overly valuable. He took it without hesitation.
After hearing Zheng Anyangs words, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but laugh. “Principal, I’m not giving you a bottle; it’s what’s inside the bottle.”
A trace of embarrassment crossed Zheng Anyangs face. He chuckled and casually opened the lid of the jade bottle.
Instantly, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire office.
Zheng Anyang widened his eyes in disbelief, immediately closing the lid.
When he looked at Ye Lengan, his expression remained unsettled. “This is…”
He recognized the medicinal scent and understood the value of the pills inside. The well-crafted jade bottle was chosen to preserve the pills’ potency.
Yet, he hadn’t anticipated Ye Lengan gifting him a bottle of pills.
“These are medicinal pills!” Ye Lengan’s tone remained casual. “Principal, they are body-nourishing pills. After taking it, various minor health issues and even hidden ailments can be effectively addressed. Moreover, it contributes to longevity.”
Hearing this explanation, Zheng Anyangs shock deepened. When he looked at Ye Lengan, his eyes held a different, more cautious look. “How do you have this…”
He hadn’t expected Ye Lengan to easily gift him something so precious, knowing its value.
Before, he only knew that Ye Lengan was the girlfriend of Huangfu Ruiling, the head of the Huangfu family. However, now he felt the need to reevaluate Ye Leng’an’s significance.
“Principal, some things are better left unsaid!” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a faint smile. “During this vacation, I visited an interesting place. As for these pills, they are quite ordinary to me, So, 1 hope you’ll accept it.”
At the mention of an interesting place, Zheng Anyang immediately thought of the Hidden World. As a member of the Zheng family, he had heard of it but had never been there.
However, he understood the value of the pills in his hands. Although reason told him not to accept such a valuable gift, emotionally, he found it hard to let go.
Sensing Zheng Anyangs inner conflict, Ye Lengan chuckled and said, “Principal, consider it a small gift from my trip. No need to be so conflicted. I have plenty more of these!”
Zheng Anyang clenched his fist and nodded. “In that case, I’ll accept it. Thank you.”
He couldn’t bring himself to refuse such a gift. Yet, he decided to take this time to find something equally valuable. After Ye Lengan finished her college entrance examination, he would present her with a significant gift to celebrate..
